Data collection on our website
Who is responsible for data collection on this website? Data are processed on this website by the website operator. The operator’s contact details can be found in this website’s section Imprint.
How do we collect your data?
Some of your data are collected when you inform us of them. These could, for example, be data you enter on a contact form. Other data are collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. These data are primarily technical data such as data from the browser and operating system you are using or the time at which you accessed the page. These data are collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
What do we use your data for?
Part of the data are collected to ensure the proper functioning of the website. Other data can be used to analyze how you use the site.
Data privacy in the case of job applications
In the case of a job application, we process the data communicated to us for the purpose of the application procedure. The legal basis for this is Article 6, paragraph 1, item a.
The recipients of the data are the persons involved in the application procedure within our organization to the exclusion of all others. If your application is rejected, the data will be stored for a six-month period following the completion of the application procedure. This storage duration results from the possible lodging of claims under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). With your consent, we can, alternatively, agree on a different time limit. The legal basis for this is Article 6, paragraph 1, item (a) GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation).
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You always have the right to request – at no charge – information about your stored data items, their origin, their recipients, and the purpose of their collection. You also have the right to request that these data be corrected, blocked, or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in the section Imprint if you have further questions about the issue of data privacy. You may also, of course, file a complaint with the competent regulatory authority.

The responsible party is the natural person or legal entity that, acting alone or jointly with others, decides on the means of processing the personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.) and the purposes for which this is to be done.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of your data
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke the consent already given at any time. An informal email addressed to us and making this request is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the latter.
Right to file a complaint with the competent regulatory authority
If there has been a breach of data protection legislation, the person affected may file a complaint with the competent regulatory authority. The competent regulatory authority with regard to data privacy issues is the Data Protection Officer of the German federal state in which our company has its registered office. A list of Data Protection Officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.
Right to data transferability
As regards data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, you have the right to have these data delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the site operators using a contact form. You can tell that you have an encrypted connection when the “http://” protocol changes in your browser’s address line to “https://” and you see a padlock icon beside it. If SSL encryption is activated, then the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies
Cookies are small text programs that are stored on your computer (in your browser) after visiting our website. If you visit our website again, the browser used by you will send the information stored in the cookie to our website and may, for example, facilitate navigation as default settings are adopted. Cookies are not viruses, and they can not install malicious software on the computer. They are only short texts that are exchanged between web server and browser. On our website only the following kind of cookies are used:
Transient cookies (temporary cookies)
These cookies are only stored for the period of use of your browser. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the common session. This will allow your computer to be recognized when you return to the site. As soon as you close the browser, these cookies will also be deleted automatically.
Basically, you can configure the settings of your browser so that cookies are not or only partially accepted and stored by him. However, if you make use of this opportunity, there may be restrictions on the usability of our website.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files”. These files show:
- the type and version of your browser
- the operating system used
- the referrer URL
- the host name of the computer accessing the site
- the time at which the server request was made
- the IP address
This data will not be combined with data from other sources. The legal basis for the data processing procedure is Art. 6, paragraph 1 (b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to perform a contract or to carry out measures as a preliminary to a contract.
Commissioned data processing
We have concluded a commissioned data processing contract with the provider.
Contact form
If you use our contact form to send us enquiries, the details you enter on the form, including the contact details entered, will be stored by us for the purpose of dealing with your enquiry and to cover the eventuality of any follow-up questions. We do not share these data items without your permission. We will therefore process any data you enter on the contact form only on the basis of your consent (Art. 6, paragraph 1 (a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email addressed to us and making this request is sufficient for this purpose. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the latter. We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until such time as you request their deletion, revoke your consent regarding their storage, or if the purpose of the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been dealt with conclusively). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, will remain unaffected by this provision.
Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as this is necessary in order to establish, shape the content of, or modify the legal relationship with us (master data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6, paragraph 1 (b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data in order to perform a contract or to carry out measures preliminary to a contract. We collect, process and use personal data relating to the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent required to enable the user to access our services or to invoice the user for the same. The customer data collected are deleted following the conclusion of the order or after termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this.
Data transferred when signing up for services and digital content
We communicate personally identifiable data to third parties only to the extent required to fulfil the terms of the user’s contract with us, transmitting such data, for example, to the bank entrusted with the processing of payments. Your data will not be transmitted for any other purpose unless you have given your explicit consent to such a data transfer. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties, e.g. for advertising purposes, without your explicit consent. The legal basis for the data processing procedure is Art. 6, paragraph 1 (b) GDPR, which allows the processing of data in order to perform a contract or to carry out measures as a preliminary to a contract.
4. Analysis tools
The website does not use analysis tools such as Google Analytics or similar programs.
5. Plugins and tools
Integration of services and content from third parties
It may happen that, as part of the online offer, third-party content, such as YouTube videos, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are included. The prerequisite for this is always that the user’s IP address is visible to the provider of such content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). For without the IP address, the content cannot be sent to the respective user’s browser. Accordingly, the IP address is necessary in order to display this content. We endeavour to only use content from providers that, in each case, use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no control over whether the third-party provider might save the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we notify users of the situation.
Google Maps
Our website does not include a map service such as Google Maps.
Web Fonts
The web fonts are integrated locally on the German server of the website.
